Blast (Pyricularia grisea) is an economically important disease of rice and finger millet in Nepal. Isolates of the fungus from different hosts differed in their response in media for mycelial growth and sporulation. Radial mycelial growth (RMG) and days of sporulation (DOS) of P. grisea were studied by culturing three fungal isolates from rice, finger millet and Panicum sp. on six different me...

Dietary quality should be taken into consideration for maintaining overall maximization of human health and solving the problem of deep rooted food insecurity and malnutrition so millet has good option to overcome it. Millets are small seeded and minor cereals of the grass family (Poaceae) and are characterized by their ability to survive in less fertile soil, resistance to pests and diseases, ...

Influence of finger millet and kodo millet on rat dermal wound healing was assessed by making a 4 cm2 (2 x 2 cm) excision wound on the shaven back of rats under ether anesthesia. Finger millet or kodo millet flour (300 mg) as aqueous paste was applied topically once daily for 16 days. The granulation tissue formed on day 4, 8 and 12 was used to estimate some biochemical parameters like protein,...

the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of complete replacement of maize with two varieties of guinea corn and two varieties of millets on the growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens. five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets for the broiler starter (23.5% cp; 2800 kcal/me) and finisher (21.5% cp; 2900 kcal/me) phases were formulated. diet 1 consisted on a maize b...

Finger millet (Eluesine coracana) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica), are highly nutritious minor millets and hence is used in most of the staple foods. The present study was to estimate the thin layer drying characteristics of foxtail and finger millet and developing a thin layer model which adequately fits the data. Foxtail and finger millet with an initial moisture content of 0.314 and 0.3...
